Saitonia's Retribution Arc 2: Episode 13: Arcane Artistry

(The Purple Cloaks have arrived to the SIU headquarters only to engage in a heated altercation. Not letting the Purple Cloaks intimidate the SIU, the Director steps up and gives them a warning, but that only provokes more members as one Purple Cloaks member, donning an eyepatch, comes in and says some spiteful things, but that causes [b]Crisha[/b] to step in.) [b]Crisha:[/b] Whatever you all plan on doing, I suggest you turn back and wrap yourselves up in those cloaks before [b]Hidoko[/b] from above in the [b]Arckydise[/b] has to see you in containment, OR, you'll have to survive a nightmarish [b]Antevouian[/b] girl down in our HQ, and she'll gladly add a new meal to her menu. *The commotion is now witnessed in first person POV by a mysterious aircraft, hovering many altitudes above. A male voice calls out: "That blue-haired SIU girl?" Another voice chimes in, this time a female, replying: "Yep. Nice to see [b]Crisha[/b] again. She must be feeling lonely in our time." Another female voice emerges and responds first with a light chuckle, then: "Time to repeat this whole "process" again. Just keep watching.* [b]Eyepatched P.C. Member:[/b] *turning her attention towards [b]Crisha[/b]* Ohhhh, Director's suck-up backing her? *She pulls out a metallic, glossy, gray combat knife with glowing, purple fluid inside of it, then holds it up, near the Director's face.* [b]The Director:[/b] *jokingly* Nice knife, definitely Scale-1. [b]Eyepatched P.C. Member:[/b] *lowered tone, now threatening* That was almost funny; a little joke except it's overused and typical. *The eyepatched P.C. member summons a purple and red energy bomb in her left hand, then with her combat knife in her right, points it a bit closer to the Director's face, but [b]Crisha[/b] makes a quick judgment call by grabbing the eyepatched member's right forearm, and delivers a sudden, straight right punch to her face, initiating a brawl.* _______________________ [b][u]*Cliche--blam!- opening theme plays*[/u][/b] _____________________ *As the eyepatched member steps back from the punch received, [b]Crisha[/b] grabs the member's cloak, and begins to drag her, all while the opposing sides are struggling to prevent anyone else from interfering. [b]Crisha[/b] throws the member up against a wall, then the member summons another energy bomb in her left hand, only for [b]Crisha[/b] to kick that same hand, canceling it out, then gets thrown into an SIU truck, creating a small dent.* *The eyepatched member draws her combat knife out and takes a swing, only for [b]Crisha[/b] to grab the member's right forearm, sweep her right leg, then pulls her to the opposite side, then tosses her. [b]Crisha[/b] lifts the eyepatched member up again, but the member starts to tug on [b]Crisha[/b]'s SIU sweater, then with her left hand, pulls on [b]Crisha[/b]'s hair, but this irritates her to where she counterattacks with an elbow to the member's face, then grab her left forearm and uses up a decent amount of energy to put pressure and weaken it.* *The member then tries to sweep kick [b]Crisha[/b], but she jumps while she's still squeezing the member's left forearm. She then turns her body around, and throws the member into the HQ wall. Grabbing and putting the member up against a generator, [b]Crisha[/b] gets on top and kneels on the generator, pulls the member's mask to where the left side of her face is seen, revealing glowing red cheek plates. [b]Crisha[/b] then starts nailing the member with punches. After a few blows in, a P.C. member pulls out a revolver with attempts to shoot [b]Crisha[/b], but [b]Arko[/b], armed with an SIU assault rifle, smacks it out his hand, then the 2 get restrained, followed by more SIU and Purple Cloaks members breaking up [b]Crisha[/b] and the eyepatched member.* *The Purple Cloaks retreat to their vehicles as the SIU watches.* [b]The Director:[/b] Settle there, [b]Crisha[/b]. [b]Crisha:[/b] *sighs as she fixes her hair and sweater* I was going easy on that little b[b]i[/b]tch. [b]Segoma:[/b] *lightly placing her hand on [b]Crisha[/b]'s back* Your energy pressure is pretty light. [b]Sagon:[/b] We gotta spy on them, get info on every single member, at least the high-ranking members. [b]The Director:[/b] Indeed, [b]Heis[/b]. *From the mysterious aircraft, the male voice speaks: "What a catfight. Woulda thought that [b]Spektral[/b] would've put up one." One female voice replies: "Yep. "[b]Priai-comabata[/b]" is [b]Arckyvus[/b] translation for female fight. A new male voice chimes in, a rough, low tone: "Let's get back to 2026 before they spot us." The aircraft then takes off.* __________________________ (In one of [b]Sakrisen[/b]'s large, vibrant, well-structured cities, full of civilians, very futuristic automobiles, and aerial motorcycles riding about, the returning [b]Severaes[/b], along with 3 of his fellow associated freelance hunters, are fluidly traversing the buildings, jumping from one to another. Continuing for 6 more seconds before grouping up at a massive, shiny, gold and blue, luminescent tower.) *[b]Severaes[/b] has accompanying him a large, broadly built male figure, nearly as tall as him. That other male freelance hunter is mixed [b]Terranovian[/b], specifically [b]Sagavelian[/b] and [b]Vaisallian[/b]. Short, spiked-back black hair with brown streaks. Medium tan skin with a blueish green undertone, and emerald green eyes. Has a black and burgundy, metallic mask frame around his neck that activates to form a ballistic, tactical mask when in combat. His outfit consists of a black and gunmetal gray, futuristic military vest with miniscule red glow, and shoulder pads of the same material, over a tucked-in, burgundy shirt with sleeved rolled to reveal his glowing forearm veins and some tattoo emitting a light green glow, along with armored, black gloves. Black, utility tech pants with magenta detailing. Black knee pads, and black military boots of the same magenta detailing.* *Now the shortest of the group; an Asian female figure with a more post-cyberpunk type of style. Pale skin with a light blue undertone. Medium, light royal purple wolf cut hairstyle with a long black bang covering her right eye, revealing a striking, icy blue left eye. Black and silver, sleek, cyberpunk mask with light purple glow, covering her nose and mouth. Her top consists of a similarly sleek, black and silver crop top, revealing her toned stomach with faint blue, glowing lines. The crop top also has with parallel light purple lines under a cropped leather jacket with slight tears in them. Her bottoms consist of slim black jeans with straps hung on her hips. The left pant leg is cut to the point of becoming shorts. Silver and purple knee pads, and kick pads/boots fusion with the same silver and purple detail in front of the pads, while the rest of the boots are black.* *Finally, the other, slightly taller female figure. She's the most colorful of the 4, and of some mixed race, possibly [b]Terranovian[/b] and earthling. Medium fair skin with an orange undertone. Medium, dark cyan blue hair going a little bit past her chin, and pearly, light green eyes. She wears a cropped, cyberpunk, dark blue, hooded jacket with yellow and pink lines, over a partially see-through, navy blue bodysuit, with a navy blue mask with pink and yellow details. Long, dark blue arm sleeves and dark gray, fingerless gloves. Spandex, dark gray boy shorts with yellow and pink details, and thin, rectangular rips in them for the design. Finally, cyan blue, thin fur leg warmers over black and yellow sneakers.* *[b]Katchikiya[/b], the outlandish, colorful freelance hunter asks enthusiastically: "Annnyyy threats you're scouting down there?"* [b]Severaes:[/b] *simply surveying the streetscape, no optical gadget needed* Nooope. Just your usual downtown [b]Sakrisen[/b] street. *[b]Quivaro[/b], the other male freelance hunter adds in with a casual tone: "Anything else we know about this "Saitonia" guy?" [b]Tomakoda[/b], the shortest member, replies in a mellow voice: "Else? [b]Quivaro[/b], you've brought that name up a few times, even I'm unaware. What is he supposed to be; some unsung hunter? A dictator?" [b]Katchikiya:[/b] Toma, you should really keep up. This is the guy that killed [b]Terranova[/b], yes, THAT tyrannical divine ruler. [b]Terranova[/b] wanted to rule another timeline, but this [b]Saitonia[/b] showed him. You didn't witness that red beam up in the sky as his body was ascending? [b]Tomakoda:[/b] *correcting [b]Katchi[/b]* I knew [b]Terranova[/b] was slain, I just didn't know who. Assumed it was [b]Cassanova[/b] out for revenge, but it was a mere [b]Terranovian[/b] being. [b]Quivaro:[/b] So it is possible for "mere" beings to kill divines? So full of sh[b]i[/b]t [b]Terranova[/b] appeared to be. [b]Severaes:[/b] Much agreed. Luckily there's only one version of the [b]Arckyvus[/b] Divines and archdivines and [b]Exomordus[/b] Fiends and archfiends, so no other reality will have to deal with the likes of [b]Terranova, Dyavolo[/b], any other of the evil gods. But you've informed me that this "Saitonia" turns evil, [b]Quivaro[/b], future him. [b]Quivaro:[/b] Not very sure. *rubs his head* Maybe we ask if anyone knows him, anyone close to him. *Toma looks up at another building to coincidentally spot [b]Sakiro[/b] and [b]Shiani[/b] sitting together, and seemingly having a fun little conversation seeing [b]Shiani[/b] chuckle as [b]Sakiro[/b] touches [b]Shiani[/b]'s right shoulder.* [b]Tomakoda:[/b]....Maybe these 2 up here. They seem like hunter partners. [b]Katchikiya:[/b] *walks closer to Toma* "Partners". Maybe more. *looking at Toma, wondering if she should go and ask or Katchi herself does it* You wanna ask them? [b]Tomakoda:[/b] *indecisive* Ehhhh.... [b][i]*Continuing Below*[/i][/b]

  • [b][i]*Continued Below*[/i][/b] *[b]Severaes[/b] replies: "I'm doing it." as he leaps up to the 2. Upon the sight of a person who is unknown and unexpectedly appearing before them, [b]Sakiro[/b]'s combat instincts are triggered as she suddenly gets into her fighting stance, holding her dual-wielding energy blades. [b]Severaes[/b] just stands there, not trying to pose as any sort of threat.* [b]Severaes:[/b] *casually reacting to [b]Sakiro[/b]* Whoa. A little jumpy? Her natural instincts kicked in? *[b]Sakiro[/b] lowers her defense* [b]Shiani:[/b] You're that one freelance hunter; [b]Severaes Thorinskythe[/b]. I've been here 3 years but that didn't stop me from hearing about you so quick. [b]Severaes:[/b] *light chuckle* Yes. I can tell you're from [b]Casavatia[/b]. Lovely accent. [b]Shiani:[/b] Don't mind her ([b]Sakiro[/b]), she's a former Shinobi [b]Eraser[/b] Empire member. [b]Severaes:[/b] Figures. *[b]Severaes[/b]' comrades arrive to the building.* [b]Katchikiya:[/b] *suddenly* Do you happen to know a Saitonia? *[b]Sakiro[/b] and [b]Shiani[/b] whisper to each other, likely to cover up their connection to him, and also because they don't what intentions the 4 have on him. The 2 turn to Katchi.* [b]Shiani:[/b] What are your intentions with him? [b]Katchikiya:[/b] He went from a god vigilante; a killer of a tyrannical divine ruler to supposedly becoming a tyrannical ruler himself. [b]Tomakoda:[/b] Kill him. *all 5 strangely glare at her* If the rumor is true. [b]Sakiro:[/b] What is it, like some future version of him? [b]Quivaro:[/b] That's what's speculated. [b]Sakiro:[/b] Well, we don't know him personally. We've heard his name here and there. I'd be very vigilant. He could be associated with universal-level people. [b]Severaes:[/b] Affirmative. But it'll take more than universal level to destroy this planet. That's why one of [b]Terranoviatia[/b]'s nicknames is called the "Omni-Transcendent Planet". We can thank the [b]Arckyvus[/b] Shard for creating something so omnipotent. But thanks for your cooperation on this Saitonia. *to his team, in a louder tone* Ok team, mission initiated. Let's go! *The 4 depart, leaving [b]Sakiro[/b] and [b]Shiani[/b] alone.* __________________________________________ (Later, at one of [b]Sakrisen[/b]'s local cafes, the same one Kyo works at, [b]Kizani[/b] is standing outside the entrance, hesitant to enter. She then hears a motorcycle driving towards her, turning around to reveal Kav with Alexa on the back. Kav pulls up, presses a button that turns off the motorcycle, and gets off as Alexa follows.) [b]Kizani:[/b] *blank tone* Hi. [b]Kavita:[/b] Hellooo. I see you've stopped by a pretty popular, local cafe here. *raspy breather* [b]Kizani:[/b] *reading it's logo* Ruvaaa-"[b]Ruvasana[/b] Cafe". [b]Kavita:[/b] Yep. *raspy breather* A friend of ours works here. [b]Kizani:[/b] *curiously* Who? *Kyo emerges from the parking lot and replies with: "I do." [b]Kizani[/b] adds: "You again." Cat then lands by the 4, lightly startling Alexa with her sudden appearance.* [b]Cathera:[/b] Heyy. Now we're all here- [b]Alexa:[/b] *interrupting Cat* You just came from the sky. [b]Cathera:[/b] Yeeahhh...it's common. Come on Lexa, let's show you another local spot. __________________________________________ (The 5 enter the cafe; a soothing atmosphere within. Everyone is relaxed, doing their own thing, while the 5 choose to sit at the bar front. A maid worker recognizes Kyo and greets him: "Hey Kyo! Off today?" In which Kyo answers with a quick nod.) [b]Kyokia:[/b] We're just introducing a new earthling friend to some of our favorite places. [b]Maid Worker:[/b] Ahhh... *Alexa observes the maid worker's peculiar, stylish, white, light brown, and golden dress, then gives Kyo a perplexed look.* [b]Alexa:[/b] You...actually wear those dresses? [b]Kyokia:[/b].....*shamefully* Yes. [b]Alexa:[/b] You're the only guy working here? [b]Kyokia:[/b] Nope. *faint chuckle* *One noticeable male figure of [b]Vaisallian[/b] descent, with short silver hair and gold eyes, wearing a black hat with silver glow, decked out in a dark blue, zipped-up trenchcoat, leathery gray pants, and fancy black shoes approaches [b]Kizani[/b] and observes her, gathering the attention of the other 4.* [b]Vaisallian Nuisance:[/b] *to [b]Kizani[/b]* You got ex-military all over you. [b]Kizani:[/b] I am. Lucky guess? [b]Vaisallian Nuisance:[/b] "Rucky guess?" Maybe. I can smell it, and I assume [b]Saitranovia[/b] military as well. Seems like you got a lot of situational awareness; a lot of boldness to ya. Us [b]Vaisallians[/b] had to finish your job in the Umbra Fangbird War. [b]Kizani:[/b] I wasn't even around for that, and to add, we had to finish your job in Exo-Biotic Valley. *The [b]Vaisallian[/b] nuisance chuckles to cover up the fact he got owned. He embarrassingly says: "Yeah....yeah..." before walking away.* [b]Kavita:[/b] *leaning in to get a closer look at the figure* Who the f[b]u[/b]ck was that nuisance? [b]Kyokia:[/b] Probably a member of Roman's posing undercover. [b]Cathera:[/b] I'm kinda leaning towards your answer, Kyo. __________________________________________ *Near the twins' safehouse, in an open field with irregular, elevated, black rock formations with indigo tints far off in the distance, Sai, Aino, and the [b]annihilator[/b] twins are practicing using the Mage [b]Enygma[/b]. Sai, being the most passionate about mastering the form, seems to be getting the gist of it the most. With his left hand, he copies a piece of the rock formation using his energy, then in his right hand, he fires rows of energy claws that deals substantial damage to the piece of rock, slicing it into bits. He then copies 2 larger chunks of rock, then clasps both of his hands, smashing the 2 energy rocks together as it creates a large shockwave.* [b]Ainotias:[/b] *light smirk* Okaaayy..that was pretty great. [b]Saffyre:[/b] Soooo, I'm guessing with Mage [b]Enygma[/b], one of it's abilites is copying some type of matter and tweaking and enhancing it to conduct even crazier magic. [b]Saitonia:[/b] I guess so. [b]Sage:[/b] Like taking a tree, and making it 4-D and have it shoot portals to other realities. [b]Saitonia:[/b] For that Sage, it'll take an abundance of mastery for that. I'm thinking of more...disabling other projectiles. *takes a few steps, then looks to see a tree to his left* Sis, take this tree that I'm looking at. *Aino teleports right in front of the tree and jams her left claw into it, then fires an energy blast with the same claw, forming a red outline around the tree. She builds up more red energy as it shrouds the tree. Aino then effortlessly rips it from the ground and throws it at Sai, -blam!- by gesturing to form a purple circle, unleashing a beam that catches the tree, evaporating the energy shrouding it as burnt pieces of the tree falls to the ground.* [b]Aino:[/b] *mouth slightly opened, surprised to see one of the abilities of the Mage [b]Enygma[/b] in action* Wow. I wonder if power scaling affects this form. *The 4 pause as a blue portal appears out of nowhere, and [b]Maviko[/b] emerges. She looks to see the 4 in the newly-acquired Mage [b]Enygma[/b] forms, and smirks, impressed at their attempts to master it.* [b]Maviko:[/b] Excellent. Intrigued to perfect the arcane artistry that is the Mage [b]Enygma[/b]. How gifted [b]erasers, obliterators, annihilators, spektrals, wrayths, terminators[/b], the obvious [b]Arckyvines[/b] are. [b]Saitonia:[/b] You had to mention "obvious" because some just don't see [b]sensitors[/b] and [b]watchers[/b] as [b]Arckyvines[/b], but digression. [b]Maviko:[/b] *turns around and looks at the plateau* There's more [b]Enygma[/b] forms out there. He was really in an ancient, godly, abyssal kitchen cooking up a load of new forms. He's the core, the mainspring of all these incarnations. You can create new [b]Enygma[/b] forms, but it takes willpower, a lot. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Defeating [b]Terranova[/b], I should be set, I've encountered [b]Dyavolo[/b], but that's another time, but what else is my future self capable of? __________________________________________ [b][u]END:[/u][/b] [spoiler][b]Erased....[/b][/spoiler]
